The controversial audio of Palmeiras’ disallowed goal that angered Abel Ferreira

The CBF released the VAR audio of the offside recorded in the goal of Ron, in Palmeiras’ 2-1 victory over the Botafogo-SPfor the first match of the third phase of the Brazil’s Cup. And the conversation shows some doubt in the refereeing team.

In the conversation, which analyzes the goal scored by the attacker in the 31st minute of the second half, there was confusion about where to draw the line on the black and white player.

“Do you want to score on the shoulder or the foot?” said one of the VAR members.

According to the video arbitration, the line is drawn on the foot of the Botafogo-SP defender, as it was understood that it is the part of the player’s body closest to the baseline.

After the match, Abel Ferreira was angry with the cancellation of Rony’s goal and complained about the lines drawn.

“VAR, if it were to be used, is to clarify. For me it wasn’t an offside. If I looked and it was ok, I would follow. But for me, the player on Rony’s side passes the line in the middle of his body”, said the Portuguese.

The coach’s complaint was Rony’s disallowed goal, 31 minutes into the 2nd half. In the play, the attacker completed Mayke’s cross, but the referee took it back after the VAR reported an offside.

“We managed to create opportunities, we scored two goals and, in my opinion, one more. When I look at the image, it’s a goal, but the VAR should be to clear up doubts. I was talking about this with Mr. Rodrigo Correa. I complained because in the In my opinion, the line cannot be drawn in the middle of the body, it cannot go beyond the ear. Let’s wait and hear. The only thing I have to say is that if VAR is to be used, it has to clear up doubts. , it’s an impediment”, said Abel, to top it off.

“I look at the image and it was not offside. There is doubt when I look at the image. When I look and see Rony’s body, the player who is next to Rony, who is close to the line of the penalty area, I see the player throws himself at the offside line… The line passes through the middle of the body, but that’s not my skill, I don’t study for that.”

Rony and Estêvão scored for Alviverde, who overcame a mistake by Marcelo Lomba in Patrick Brey’s goal to guarantee the advantage at ”lights out”.
